airmon-ng: requires openssl but does not select it

Package Name

airmon-ng

Maintainer

Rick Farina zerochaos@gentoo.org

OpenWrt Version

SNAPSHOT

OpenWrt Target/Subtarget

ipq806x/generic

Steps to Reproduce

If I just add airmon-ng in make menuconfig, the build environment, the build process errors out on the --without-openssl line in the Makefile for aircrack-ng (apparently there is some dependency). I have to manually go in to Libraries, SSL and * on Openssl, for it to build.

Whereas aircrack-ng, if selected, I'm not sure the same issue happens. And probably people routinely select both when building so they may not see this error.

It seems like this should be a minor (easy) thing to correct.

Actual Behaviour

Build fails

Confirmation Checklist

• The package is maintained in this repository.
• I understand that issues related to the base OpenWrt repository or LuCI repository will be closed.
• I am reporting an issue for OpenWrt, not an unsupported fork.

Start with the airmon-ng package definition and the aircrack-ng Makefile, focusing on the --without-openssl build path and how dependencies are selected through make menuconfig. Confirm the failure when only airmon-ng is selected, then verify that its dependency selection allows the build to complete without manually enabling OpenSSL.
